TRANSCRIPT
Optimize production and boost profitability while keeping your people safe.
Refining SolutionsLeverage Emerson’s valves, actuators, regulators, and services to reduce emissions and improve the safety, production, and reliability of your refinery.
1
Operating more efficiently is difficult with changing environmental responsibilities.
Refineries, more than most process facilities today, are tasked with environmental, safety, and social responsibilities that make it harder than ever to stay profitable. It’s critical to keep personnel safe in hazardous environments, but it is becoming more difficult to hire and retain qualified local personnel as the experienced workforce continues to retire.
On top of this, meeting production volume targets is essential to staying afloat in a competitive market. But, fleet inefficiencies create operating constraints that put production at risk, and unscheduled shutdowns and slowdowns make meeting those targets and contract commitments virtually impossible.
“ We’re staffed to run, not staffed to change.” –Refinery Operations Manager, North America
Refining is much more than just a technical operation. It’s subject to a strong business constraint: meeting market demand. – Independent Refiner
Environmental regulations are changing frequently—and becoming more and more restrictive.
Many refiners believe that regulatory changes, like IMO, will present a medium to major disruption to the industry. –OilandGas360.com, 2019

Stay ahead of the competition by responding to market conditions with greater flexibility.
In today’s changing energy market, refiners are under increasing pressure to implement operational flexibility. Emerson’s solutions make it easier for operators to safely meet demand while lowering operating costs, reduce unplanned slowdowns and shutdowns, and adapt to new clean fuels regulations.
In 2017 alone, more than 19,900 students participated in relevant product or industry training through Emerson’s Educational Services team—offered from 80+ global service locations and taught by 300+ certified instructors.
“Fisher™ Control-Disk™ valves have enabled our compressors and chillers to run smoothly, with lessloading and unloading energy required.”– Process Engineer, CAMECO
With wireless THUM adapters, previously stranded diagnostic information was made available to the refinery’s information database and distributed to the staff responsible for maintaining the assets, enabling them to act before a process interruption. – Refinery in California, USA

Hydroprocessing Solutions
What’s your opportunity?• Increase quality and yields with better regulatory controls that
improve temperature control of the fired heater and hydrogen quench controls
• Improve functioning safety and operate within increasingly stringent environmental regulations with automation solutions that deliver better measurement, control, and diagnostic information
• Meet low sulfur fuel requirements
Hydroprocessing refers to two separate but similar processes: hydrotreating and hydrocracking. The hydrocracker unit is important to meet low sulfur diesel while taking advantage of opportunistic market conditions between gasoline and diesel, so keeping this unit operating reliably and effectively is imperative. Safety is also a challenge with this unit due to high pressures, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, fired heaters, and potential reactor temperature excursion. Hydrotreaters are critical in protecting downstream process catalysts, as poor performance can significantly affect product yield and efficiency and potentially require an earlier shutdown for catalyst replacement.
Maximize uptime with tight reactor bed temperature control and improved downstream catalyst performance.Emerson’s advanced hydrocracker solutions provide tighter control in the field, more accurate temperature measurements, detection of potential problems, and enhanced insight into the hydrocracker’s performance. Hydrocracker Unit Application Solutions Guide u
Using our hydrotreating solutions, you’ll gain the tight control, accurate measurements, and real-time compositional data needed to maximize the yield of higher-value products while reducing the typical operator intervention needed to keep your process running well.

Fluidized Catalytic Cracking Solutions
The Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) is a dynamic and complex process, operating in severe conditions where plugging and catalyst reversal are always a risk. With a significant portion of the refinery’s heavy petroleum being processed in the FCC unit, a slowdown or shutdown can directly impact the refinery’s profitability.
The FCC unit is also an important source of butene and pentene olefins used in refinery processes such as the alkylation unit. As a critical unit in the refinery, the alkylation unit’s optimum operation is essential.
What’s your opportunity?• Reduce steam usage while maintaining quality with
improved distillation control in the gas concentration section
• Reduce FCC complexity to convert low value heavy oils to higher value products
• Size and select the right control valve to prevent catalyst erosion and avoid process interruptions
• Keep assets running reliably in spite of severe reactor and regenerator temperatures.
Detect line plugging and catalyst reversal inreal time.Using Emerson solutions for FCC, you’ll have the tight control over your process and real-time measurement accuracy needed to ensuresmooth and efficient operation.

Delayed Coker Solutions
The coker is an important processing unit for extracting high-value fuel products from the bottom of the oil barrel, but unmonitored disturbances during coke drum switchovers can often lead to process slowdowns or even shutdowns.
Because it is typically one of the “dirtiest” and most high maintenance processes in the refinery, maintaining a safe, healthy environment around the coker is critical. Anything that can be done to increase reliability, lower maintenance costs, and enable higher on-stream time is valuable.
What’s your opportunity?• Consistently meet side-cut specifications and improve
safety by streamlining your coke removal process
• Minimize the cycle time between drum switching
• Achieve an accurate and reliable material balance around the coker, optimizing the unit’s efficiency
Operate your coker safely and efficiently.Our advanced process control solutions for delayed cokers and fired process heaters can minimize disturbances, optimize temperature control, reduce buildup, and provide a faster transition back to normal operating conditions.
